Weller 12 Year Old Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eW.L. Weller 12 Year Old is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, aged twelve years and bottled at 90 proof. This is the 700ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eW.L. Weller is the original wheated bourbon: its mash bill replaces rye with wheat as the secondary grain, giving a softer, sweeter, rounder bourbon. As part of the wheated bourbon family, the twelve-year-old is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons, and it has become one of the most sought-after bottles on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beautiful deep bronze, it offers lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla on the nose, with caramel and butterscotch. The palate is smooth, easy-going and balanced, with wheat, caramel, vanilla, oak and almond, and the finish is long, oaky and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic Weller bottle makes it a coveted gift for bourbon lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a single ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuffalo Trace, in Frankfort on the banks of the Kentucky River, is one of America's oldest continuously operating distilleries, and its wheated bourbons have a devoted following. Twelve years is a long rest for a wheater, and the extra time in oak adds depth while keeping the soft, gentle sweetness that wheat brings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lanolin, almond, creamed corn, toasty vanilla and caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheat, caramel, vanilla, oak and almond.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, oaky and smooth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, wheated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 proof (45% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or on a single ice cube.
